[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 2658956, member: 22335"] If you're going for light weight, I'd use a barrel similar to what Weatherby uses on the Backcountry. If you want, they'll install one. You can go 24 or 26 inches; the 2 inches won't affect your weight enough to matter. You don't say what contour you are using now. As noted by Bakpakr, the Peak 44 stock is very light and made for your rifle. Leupold VX5 or 6, or a Swarovski Z5 would also lighten you up quite a bit, depending on what variable power you choose. Generally speaking there are no light Nightforce scopes. Factory bottom metal on a Weatherby is pot metal and aluminum, so already light. [/QUOTE]
